Dell OptiPlex 960
If you're shopping at the premium end of the business desktop market, you'll be hard-pressed to do better than the Dell OptiPlex 960.
Toshiba Tecra R10
Despite its strong performance, the tacky design and inflated price leaves the Toshiba Tecra R10 behind the competition.
Sony VAIO (VGN-Z17GNB)
Beautifully designed and reassuringly robust, the 1.5kg VAIO Z11 marries a decent-sized 13.1-inch screen with good portability. It's not flawless, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed.
HP Compaq 6730b
The HP Compaq 6730b is a reasonable but uninteresting business notebook. Unfortunately the competition — and even HP — are offering much better systems at a comparative or lower price.
Panasonic ToughBook CF-U1
Panasonic has created a new paradigm in rugged notebooks with the CF-U1, which is a nice balance between portability and functionality. However businesses should be aware of its limited performance, and note that protection comes at a premium price.
HP EliteBook 6930p
A solid business laptop with excellent battery life, the EliteBook 6930p won't disappoint, but there is little in this laptop to warrant the 'Elite' label.

Asus TS500-E5 tower server
Asus' TS500 offers reliability, speed and efficiency at a low price for a mid-range tower server. However, case design is not ideal, and the system strangely requires a PS2 keyboard and mouse.
Fujitsu LifeBook E8420
Fujitsu's foray into Centrino 2 laptops is solid, but the competition is offering more features at a lower price.
Lenovo ThinkCentre A57
The Lenovo A57 is a well-priced office desktop with a strong performance. While very similar to its smaller sibling, the M57e, the A57 offers better performance and upgrade options for a small price increase.
Lenovo M57e
The Lenovo M57 eco is a small form-factor desktop that is promoted by the company as energy efficient. We found it to be a capable and powerful office performer for its size, but with limited upgrade options.
Toshiba Tecra P4
The P4 strikes us as a good, reliable machine with plenty of features. Despite its conservative appearance there is modern technology inside, providing solid performance.
